Letters Patent No. 108,755, dated November 1, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN MUFF, COLLAR, AND CUFF--BOXESl The Schedulereferred to 'in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Tu all whom it may conce/rn:

Be it known that I, J OBN C. BUDD, of New York,-

in the county and State of NewYork, have invented anew and .useful Improvement in Muif, Collar, and Gulf-Boxes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingforming part of this specication.

Figure 1 is'a i'ont view of my improved furfbox, the cover being removed.

Figure 2-is alongit'udinal section of the same, taken through the line :v x, iig. 1. l

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts." c

My invention has for its object to vfurnish a neat, simple, and\convenient box for the reception of a muff, collar, and cus; and

It consists in a box constructed and arranged. as hereinafter more .fully described.

A is a hollow cylinder, made of a suitable length and diameter to contain the mu".

The cylinder A is attached at one side and end to the side and end of a rectangular box, B, so as lto form a part of said box.

The angles of the box B adjacent to the side to which the cylinder A is attached, are filled up or in closed, as shown in figs. 1 and 2, so as to better. sup-v port the said cylinder'.

The box B is made of such a size as to leave a space around about one-half of the cylinderA to receive the collar, and also a space at the open end of the cyl inder A to receive a part of the said collar when made large, and also to receive the cuffs.

Ihis construction enables the m1iii,nollar, and cuffs to be all kept in the same box, and in s ueh a way that' they can be easily and conveniently put into and removed from the said box'wtbo'ut inj ury to the furs.

It also enables the merchant to conveniently display the furs, when desired,'by lsimply removingthe cover C and placing tbeboxes upon his shelves in the position shown in iig. 1.

It should also 'be observed that this construction enables the mui to be placed in and removed from the cylinder A by placing the hand in the interior of said Inui, so that'it is not necessary to take hold of the fur of the muti` in putt-ing it in and taking it out,

which tends greatly to protect the fur from being in- -closed by one and the samecover, as herein shown and described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me this 26th day of'November, 18,67.
